The monitoring network within this area

Hydrionis holds 281,792 values from 18 gauges within it. Discharge is a property of a gauge and its reach, not of this drainage area, so this page reports the network and its records rather than a single figure.

How low, how high and how variable this gauge runs

A hydrograph says what happened; these say how often. Read off Oulunkylä's whole daily record between 1937 and 2026, they describe the shape of the record rather than any day in it — and they belong to this gauge and its reach, not to this drainage area.

These are the largest daily means, not flood peaks. A peak lasting hours is averaged across a whole day here, so the true instantaneous maximum on the same day was higher — sometimes far higher on a fast-responding catchment. Flood frequency work needs a publisher's own instantaneous series; Hydrionis holds one for 2,236 American gauges and not for this one, so the two are never drawn together. A water year the gauge did not substantially cover produces no value at all rather than a low one.

How these gauges were attached to this water

Assigned by the publisher to a numbered basin Every gauge here is assigned to this drainage area by its own publisher, which issues the area an official code — 21. A drainage area is not a river: it contains the tributaries as well as the main channel, and a gauge in it may be on any of them.

What this record holds

Hydrionis decides which waters get a page, and which of those are offered to search, from what is actually held rather than from how the page reads. Five signals are counted; this record has 3 of them, which makes it a full profile.

No bulk download is offered here, which is a licence position rather than a product one: at least one contributing publisher does not permit redistribution. The values can be read on the page, cited, and pointed to at source.

Attribution and citation

Attribution you are required to give

These are conditions of the licences the underlying data is published under. They are obligations to the publishers, not to Hydrionis, and they apply to you directly whether or not you mention Hydrionis at all.

Suggested citation for Hydrionis

Hydrionis (2026), Vantaa gauge records, accessed 2026-10-05, hydrionis.com/waters/finland-vantaa/

Cite Hydrionis where you rely on the compilation, the normalisation, the eligibility judgements or a chart. Where you use an unmodified published value, the publisher’s attribution is the one that is required; crediting Hydrionis as well is welcome and is not something Hydrionis can require of you.

Recommended, not required. Hydrionis does not claim rights over unmodified public data it relayed, and doing arithmetic on somebody else’s measurements does not make them Hydrionis’s. Cite the version and the access date: the Vantaa gauge records changes as publishers release and as methods are revised, and a citation without both cannot be checked later. Full guidance is on cite and reuse.

Source: Syke — Hydrologiarajapinta — Finnish national hydrological archive, 2101700. Licence: Open — attribution required (attribution required).

Method: Daily discharge exactly as the Finnish Environment Institute publishes it. Syke computes the daily value from its own measurement and rating curves; Hydrionis does not recompute it, because a mean derived from whatever sub-daily data happens to be exposed would be a different statistic under the same name. Values Syke flags as possibly erroneous are not stored.

49 of these values (under 1%) are interpolated by Syke rather than measured, and are marked as such in its own archive. A further 79 values that Syke flags as possibly erroneous are not held: Hydrionis cannot show a per-point flag on a chart, so a value its publisher doubts is left out rather than plotted beside one it does not. Station in the Vantaa main drainage basin, Vantaan suualue sub-basin. Discharge is a property of this gauge and this reach, not of the river as a whole.
